- Early Academic Referrals: Use this system to support students who are struggling academically and need additional university resources.

WSU Vancouver is committed to fostering an environment of academic excellence and personal well-being through comprehensive support systems and transparent data reporting. The following resources provide essential pathways for student assistance, privacy protections, and institutional accountability. By utilizing these tools, students and faculty can ensure that every member of the campus community has access to the guidance and information necessary for a successful university experience.
Student Care Network

Early Academic Referral System
The Early Academic Referral System (EARS) helps undergraduate and pharmacy students stay on track. Faculty and staff are encouraged to submit referrals at the first sign of academic difficulty, such as poor attendance or low assessment scores. An advisor will then assist the student in connecting with tutoring and academic advising.
